Abstract
This chapter talks about the Jews' central role in the Christian drama of the end of time, also known as the endtime. It first reveals that the Christians accused the Jews of claiming to be world redeemers, which subsequently affected the Christian perception of Jewish conversion. It then looks at the topic of Jews claiming to be false messiahs in the early contemporary German literature, penned by missionaries, converts, and Christian polemicists. It looks at failed Jewish messianic movements, Antonius Margaritha's example of a convert's polemic opposing the Jewish messianic beliefs, and the actions of Sabbatai Levi's messianic movement. The chapter concludes with a look at how Pietist founder Jakob Spencer reviewed (yet hardly did anything to realize) the mass Jewish conversion question.
